In today’s episode of the Objectively Dan and Secular Rarity, take calls that bring us back to the show basics with aliens out there, aliens changing religion, post death beings judging us, and aliens here on earth! Aliens, aliens, and more aliens!

Steve in NE, wants to talk about evidence for energy transmissions that is coming from an alien civilization near a sun-like star. How do we know that the alien civilization is the only explanation for this? Why is this the best explanation for these signals? It is cool, many of us are rooting for aliens to be out there too. We may find evidence for aliens later, but do not have it now. More space research is needed!

Michelle in NY wants to talk about another realm where we might be judged for the actions of this life and questions if the beings who judge us will have an ethical and moral structure. If there is an omnibenevolent being, they would probably make their identity known to us. Why would we change what we do if we are already doing the best we can? How do we determine the characteristics of this being that will judge us and how do we know what we are being judged on? The sound is worked between the caller and the screener and Caleb’s call is received before Michelle returns for more dialogue.

Caleb in WY has some thoughts on the K2 18-B planet that is showing signs of possible life and asks how that would change religious dogma. Some will drop their beliefs and yet others will double down and claim that god created this alien life. What would happen if we found alien dinosaurs? How would countries manage the panic about this discovery?
Nostromo from Canada saw a report where Harvard researchers say aliens may already live on earth. It has to be more than, “could be” and we are going to need to see the receipts. Why is the alien explanation the best conclusion? Finding more unexplained events does not explain other unexplained events. If there is no good reason to believe this, why should we entertain it?

Thank you for tuning in this week! Kelley Laughlin, our back-up host, joins us to close out the show. We want the truth of the week is: What would you expect with the apocalypse?
